    I bet you couldn’t even return one of Chrissy’s serves. And playing outdoors in Tempe at 2am is pretty common considering our nearly perfect weather. If you really feel the need to see how good you are against a woman and you’re at ASU then go to the girls softball practice, get in the batter’s box and try to get a hit. You’ll be lucky if you can even see the ball.

    This law is not about the abilities of women in sports as the majority of the common American man couldn’t even hold a candle against the abilities of women athletes. This law is about a male athlete identifying himself as a female to gain a proven physical advantage in women’s sports.

    Not true. Currently most would say that the light barrier can't be broken (FTL drive), yet science is trying to figure a way around that. But try telling that to scientists in say 1940, 1950, and they would have said it's impossible, settled science.

    If you are harping on my wording, yes it is more technically true that what I remember is the history of such, not the actual events. My apologies for the use of idiom

    It's not settled science, it's the best theory we got thanks to Einstein. Like the sound barrier thingy it was a hotly debated issue.

    Go compare average driving distance on the PGA to the LPGA and see who has the advantage.

    We could do height and weight, BMI, or even testosterone divisions. It's a good idea that will likely be ignored.

    It would not be fair to allow males to compete in the LPGA. Even the equipment is gender specific. They make golf balls for ladies. (Although some ladies play with mens balls)

    What legislative discrimination is taking place if this law passes? It simply states that boys will compete in boys sports and girls will compete in girls sports.

    This was the logical decision, but the far left puts progressiveness ahead of logic.

    So will Arizona lose future superbowls?
    Will the Hollywood crowd boycott Arizona?

    Driving distance is the least important factor in golf as you can easily recover the distance with an approach shot by an iron selection. Driving accuracy is much more important. Putting is the most important as most golfers will use their putters twice as much as the next most used club in their bag.

    Btw there are women out there that can club it 350 yards.

    Yep. Their coddling of any and every societal reject has now led to progressives eating their own...

    How does GD equate to Mental Illness? Shouldn't that be "...transition due to MI."?

    The competition would be very limited, lol... But it's better than letting them infect sports and extracurricular activities that normal kids participate in. There should also have been a gay scouts of America but the BSoA had to cower to the 2% to look "humane." All it did is end their organization in the end.

    If you got into a boxing ring with Chris Evert, or weight lifting, wrestling (wink wink), full contact sports, etc., I'm not too sure she'd have a chance against you. I don't know if you've ever had a shts & giggles game of the varsity baseball vs the varsity softball players, but we all met up for one in high school and I'll tell you this, it's hard as hell to hit an underhand pitch coming in at 85 mph when you're used to overhand pitches.

    That would put real girls at a greater disadvantage. Muscle weighs more than body fat and women tend to have a higher body fat ratio, especially with amateurs like high school or college athletes...

    There is always an outlier that is better than the average. In professional play the men drive as an average for a year 57 yards farther than women, with each club lower they hit farther but the distance farther drops as yard carried drops with each club. AMD as a rule of thumb womens course yardage is 1000 yards shorter.

    Why not just compete in the male league if you were born a male. When reading about the Connecticut lawsuit, the transgender person is complaining that he/she is a runner and just wants to run and he/she feels they are trying to stop he/her. If Hetshe wants to run then just run in the boys, nobody can stop that.

    Some sense at long last. Although in scaling back the Bill it looks like they may be susceptible to pressure. I hope not.

    Matters such as the sound barrier, are not analogous to the matter of biological gender. An individual is either male or female, as determined by their chromosomes, which will either be XX or XY.

    So to be clear, a person with an XX pair, born with a penis is female. Only the chromosomes matter, correct?

    And as far as the analogy goes, it's spot on. Our history is chocked full of things that have been "settled science" that has later been proven wrong by newer discoveries.

    The top LPGA players hit 290 which is less than the average PGA. Give one player a 40 yard driving advantage and all other things equal he will kill the other player. They are hitting wedges to greens while the other will be hitting six or seven irons. BIG advantage. That's why there IS a PGA and LPGA.
